Pricing & Payment

At Northport Systems, we are committed to the highest level of customer service because we know that solutions alone will not make our customers happy. Our support team will instill confidence and understanding in your products and purchasing decisions so that you are not caught adrift in a sea of doubt and that is how we define customer service.

If you have questions, we have answers. If you are unsure about a specific feature or confused by a product, ask us. We want you to:

Know your product - We don't want to sell you gimmicks, we want to sell you what you need.

Be confident in your purchase - Maybe you need a different part? Is it compatible with ABC? Is my product too old for XYZ? Call or email us (contact information below) and we'll help you out as best as we can.

Pricing & Payment

We have customers all over the world so we use a currency that lots of people are familiar with, USD. We accept VISA, AMEX, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club credit cards. Please note that if you are Canadian, we must charge GST or HST depending on your province or territory. Note we offer Canadian price conversion in the shopping cart for Canadian customers to see the price in Canadian dollars.

Customers have the option of selecting Canada Post or FedEx. Shipping notification will be provided by Northport Systems and your shipping service to your email address. Please provide a phone number should issues arise.

Estimates for shipping cost and delivery time will be created if you proceed through the check out process. Credit card credentials are NOT required (if you do, you've gone too far).

To ensure that your products are shipped the same day, please place your order before 12pm EST.
